Residents of Middle Tennessee's first "transit-ready" subdivisions will be able to catch a train or rapid transit bus just a few steps from their door and commute to downtown Nashville without giving traffic on I-40 or I-65 a second thought - or even a first.

Developers expect the two communities, in Lebanon and Gallatin, to appeal to residents who choose to live in the suburbs but don't want to begin and end their days in bumper-to-bumper traffic, said Jay Everett, a landscape architect with Lose & Associates. The Nashville company helped plan the communities.
